Although the new security measures seem extreme and absurd, it is all to help protect our nation from terrorist like threats, to keep passengers and our nation safe, and ultimately shorted the time it takes to go though the airports. One of the many things on the news recently is the new TSA, Transportation Security Administration, procedures in the nation’s airports. Recently the TSA announced that they would be stepping up security measures just in time for the holiday season. They are adding new X-ray scanners to major airports and, if passengers do not what to go through the scanner, full body pat downs.

On September 11, 2001, the nation was devastated when three planes were high-jacked and flown into the World Trade Center and crashed in Summerset, PA. After September 11, 2001, the security measures were changed to help insure the safety of passengers flying, in hopes that nothing that devastating would happen again. No one was upset about the TSA and government upping the security measures. Why should it be any different now? The only difference is that we are putting new security measures into effect before things happen. It is better to be safe than sorry. Since September 11, 2001, there still have been incidents where passengers have had items on them that are not allowed on planes. One of the most recognized incidents of this is the Underwear Bomber. Last year on Christmas day, a young Nigerian man tried to ignite a bomb he created in his underwear. Thankfully he was not successful in lighting it and no one what injured. The new measures the TSA is putting into effect is to prevent things like this from happening again.

Many people argue that the procedures that the TSA are following are unconstitutional in a sense that they violate the fourth amendment. The fourth amendment of the Bill of Rights states “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be...

BetterSafethanSorry
You should be cautious—if you are not, you may regret it. It is wise to be careful and protect yourself against any risk rather than be careless. Cautiousness is indeed a must in every actions and decisions we make in our everyday living. We must always think twice before making decisions that might bring back a big change in our lives.
Generally speaking, most of the times people tend to be careless. Some people, especially the young, act with reckless attitude regardless of the consequences in mind. But on the other hand, people who are mature enough with their work and life tend to be more cautious and careful with the decisions they make, otherwise, they’ll regret everything because of a simple mistake and carelessness.
Most people are sorry for mistakes they had committed during their youth because at that time, they weren’t very aware of the responsibilities that may arise. Lucky they will be when the decision that they made give a good result. People used to believe that life was full of risks, so “why not take it anyway?” But thinking in a practical way, everyone must keep in mind that life offers so many opportunities. It is up to us what decision to make and what are the consequences of choosing such decision. For life had never been easy.
Things should be done right or else they're going to be regretted. It is better to do things...

...difficult for me to consider my problems in DETAIL. If I want to be safe I must spend a lot of time to think ABOUT my actions. Another problem is doubt. If I spend a lot of time thinking I will doubt my decisions.
Many people prefer to consider their decisions in detail. They think that it’s a right way to take the decision. In fact, we take decisions every day, but we don’t think about them. We believe in our intuition.. If we start thinking about every action in our life, we will WASTE our time ON thinking. I think that the meaningS of the wordS safe and indecisive are too CLOSE. It’s very easy to transform your safety in indecision. For example, If I have one question with two possible answers. I have two possibilities. The first is to spend a lot of time searching for the correct answer. The second is to take A decision immediately and to save time. If I make A mistake I’ll choose the other answer. In that case I’ll save time and I’ll take the right decision.
If I take A decision fast I will improve my self-confidence. I’ll believe in my mind. If I spend a lot of time thinking about decisions, I’ll lose my self-confidence. I believe that if I’m in doubt about one question, the answers of the question are OF equal worth. If they are OF equal worth, it’s not good to spend a lot of time OVER THE question.
In conclusion I will change the name of the question. IN MY OPINION it’s better to try than to be...

...and now I know what I want.”
Truth is, more than 80% of the teenagers who experience the exciting rumspringa, return back to their traditional Amish way of life. They now know what life is like loosened from the ropes, and even though they enjoy it, most of them see that this life of indulgent freedom isn’t the one they want to lead. Like Harley, the teens gain a new perspective and understanding of their own morals, but said they see the emptiness of the temporary life.
Giving teenagers some freedom to move about this world, make their own mistakes and experiment a little, even with things that parents won’t want them to do, is an important and healthy milestone of growing up. Oprah Winfrey is a firm believer in this, advising to “turn your wounds into wisdom”. Experimentation helps to establish the skill of self-teaching and growth, differentiating right and wrong, and ultimately understanding the virtues behind their own morals, collected gradually throughout the course of their life.
If you add 1 part Amish culture and 10 parts Canadian culture, you would get my life, a far more diluted, less-interesting version of the story above. Regardless, I feel like I can relate. Whenever my mom goes on a trip to visit her mother in Bosnia, I’m left alone with my dad, and with far more freedom. I can bus to the mall after school and hang out with my friends without a call every fifteen minutes, and I’m allowed to go to (safe) parties...

...Better to be late thansorry
The festive season is said to be a season of accidents and the high rate of road accident is testament to this. Road accidents have been identified as one of the causes of deaths in Malaysia. In light of this, the causes of road accidents must be identified to reduce them as an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
One of the causes of road accidents is an increase in road users. Young people today obtain their licenses at a young age of sixteen and thus we see an increase in road users. Also, because of our affluent (rich) society, the number of vehicles on the road has increased too. Impatient road users who speed without a care is also another cause. These reckless drivers are like fools who rush in where angels fear to tread. Sometimes, they speed on narrow busy roads. Badly maintained vehicles with brakes not working and lights not functioning is another contributory factor.
Car and buses carry passengers while lorries and tracks carry goods. Overloading of vehicles happen when cars carry more than 5 passengers while buses are packed like sardines. Lorry and track drivers, to save time and reduce cost, overload on goods. Overloading of vehicles has been found to be a cause for those accidents. Most road users are workers or students who face a lot of pressure and stress at work and school. Driving with your mind preoccupied with issues at work and school will distract...

...to take precautions to prevent all dangers. Such being the case, does it make sense to try to be safe always and avoid risks?
Determinists argue that since we can never really predict dangers, we should live life as it comes - leaving everything to fate.This is indeed the belief among many people, though there are degrees of variability. An extreme case exists where a tribe of people , refused to vacate their village ; even though it was in the way of a flow of lava from a volcanic eruption. They insisted that if the gods sent lava to destroy them, getting out of the way would be disobedience to the gods! The whole village perished. This is , of course , determinism in the extreme. The logical position lies somewhere in between. It is the duty of every human to live life to the fullest and in order to this , he ought to take every precaution and avoid risks to life.
There are , however , areas in life where we have to take risks in order to live better. Often we may be happy in certain positions but may forego the situation and take the plunge into something a little risky , but giving good returns if successful. These include situations like job changes , leaving the security of a job and going into business and emigration. For instance if we are in a good position , we should not avoid risking it if a better opportunity comes along. People take risks everyday and more often than not benefit from them. These are...

Parents often believe that it is better to be safethansorry. Do you consider young people to be too protected?
Whenever you come across the word "childhood", you can sense the freedom to do everything, you can see yourself on all smiles and even you can remember the silly things you have done with your friends when you were young which could make induce a sense of humour till now. Well not anymore. In today's world, parents prevent them from letting them go out and venture, they do not allow their children to do activities and lastly solving their children's own problem.
Nowadays, helicopter parents do not allow their child to go out and venture the world. Helicopter parents do not allow their children to go out as they are afraid about their child being kidnapped. If this continued, children would be immature and sad to say that they would continue to . To prove my point, a research was done by Cambridge University on the crime rate from ten years ago till now. The results tells us that crime rate has decreased by a whopping 86.81%. On the contrary, some critics may argue that children are immature, thus they are unprepared to face the world. But this is part of life, learning should never be obstructed and the more experienced they are, the more matured they will be. Ernest Dimnet once said that, "Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.". Therefore,...
